Headache and Migraine Relief in Greenville, SC

Many of the headaches we see at Combs Chiropractic & Wellness start in the neck. When stiff joints and tight muscles at the top of the spine refer pain into the head, chiropractic care aimed at the neck can help reduce how often and how hard those headaches hit. "Headache relief" is one of the most common things our patients mention in their Google reviews.

Common causes we see

• Tension-type headaches from tight neck and shoulder muscles

• Cervicogenic headaches — pain that starts in the neck joints and spreads to the head

• Forward head posture from phones, laptops and long drives ("tech neck")

• Neck injuries such as whiplash

• Migraines, where neck tension and stress can be one of several triggers

How we assess them

We ask about your headache pattern — where it starts, how often, what triggers it — then examine your neck's motion and muscles and take X-rays to measure the curve of your neck and your head posture.

How we treat them

• Gentle adjustments to the upper back and neck

• CBP posture correction to restore a healthier neck curve when X-rays show it's lost

• Exercises to strengthen the deep neck muscles and open up the chest

• Workstation and phone-posture changes you can make right away
